Mr. Bisek indicated he could not donate the labor needed for a fourth field. A concession stand could be built at LaMotte Park between the fields. He noted the Lion's could use this stand for future fundraising that could be put back into the community and youth sports. Y Y P Council Member Travis asked why the softball tournament had to be sanctioned. Mr. Bisek stated this did not have to be a sanctioned tournament but it would bring a great number of people and interest into the festival. He noted prize money would be provided if the tournament was full and it would be self - sufficient. Mr. March added that the sanctioned tournament would draw in neighboring residents to the festival. Mayor Wilharber asked where the funding would come from if the Parks and Recreation Committee was not able to allocate these funds. Mr. March stated this could come out of the general fund or through future park dedication funds. Council Member Travis asked if the Parks and Recreation Committee approved of the fences. Mr. March stated they were not in favor or denial of the fences at this time. Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member Travis to approve the ball field fences at LaMotte Park with an allocation through the general fund to purchase the materials from Menards in the amount of $4,500. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Sweeney to approve the noise permit, 3.2 beer permit, the application to conduct excluded bingo and application to conduct excluded raffle. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Vacation Leave Policy Mr. March explained this item was tabled at the last meeting for further review and explanation from staff. He indicated there was a need for verification between part time employees and how their "week" of vacation was defined. Council Member Sweeney asked that this be done on an hours worked per week basis so that people who work 40 hours a week receive more vacation time than those who work 24 hours a week. The Council concurred with this system. Vacancies Mr. March stated there are numerous recommendations for employment and Paul Palzer would be interviewing next week for part time public works assistance. Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Broussard Vickers to approve Kristen Sweeney as the Receptionist, Earl Fleischman for the Public Works position and Patricia Scott for the Cable Operator. All in favor. Motion carried. (Sweeney abstained). 9
